KALLINIKEION Intensive Modern Greek Language Program

The Kallinikeion Institute at Hellenic College is an intensive Modern Greek language program sponsored by the Kallinikeion Foundation. The program offers two courses in Modern Greek, one at the Beginning and one at the Intermediate level. Each course meets for an average of 5h/day, Monday through Friday in August (8/15 HC/HC holiday), offering 102 hours of instruction in Modern Greek and 6 credits towards graduation. 

The Kallinikeion Institute provides its students with an abundance of opportunities to explore Greek culture, music, and literature, through program activities and HC/HC resources; in the inspiring Boston academic environment, Kallinikeion students combine their study of Modern Greek with museum visits, traditional Greek music concerts, Greek poetry recitation, and other educational events. 

All Hellenic College and/or Holy Cross full-time students are eligible for a full scholarship covering tuition, room and board, and all the other benefits of the Kallinikeion Institute. The program is open to outside students as well, depending on availability. If you are planning to enroll at the Kallinikeion Program please note:

1. The registration deadline for the August 2011 session (M 8/8-F 9/2) is F 5/20/2011. Please contact the Registrar of Hellenic College for more information.
2. Students wishing to enroll in Intermediate Modern Greek I & II at the Kallinikeion Institute must have a grade of B- or higher in Beginning Modern Greek IIb, Beginning Modern Greek II, or equivalent.
